Stocks were on course to open higher on Monday after top Chinese and U.S. negotiators sounded positive on their latest talks.
The progress bolstered hopes that President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will be able to sign off on a trade agreement between the world’s two largest economies later this week.
Futures tracking the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 321 points, or 0.7%. S&P 500 futures gained 0.9%, and contracts tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 added 1.2%.
